This is why this article presents a didactic experience whose purpose was to develop strategies and techniques of learning focused on teaching science using the Inquiry Methodology (ABI), to strengthen academic performance and improve the development of superior skills in students of Pedagogy in Biology of the Metropolitan University of 

Education Sciences (UMCE). This experience was realized in the practical activities of the Ecology of Communities course.
The results showed that applying an inquiry-based methodology in the Ecology of Communities laboratory generates a better academic performance of students of Pedagogy in Biology in the area of ecological sciences, compared to the performance of those who learned in based on a traditional methodology.
